While appearing at Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest alongside Erika Kirk, the famed rapper claimed that Trump has helped many Americans.
“I have the utmost respect and admiration for our president,” she stated after being asked by Kirk about the “biggest surprise” she’s learned from the Trump administration. “I don’t know if he even knows this, but he’s given so many people hope.”
When asked by Kirk what made her want to speak out about politics, Minaj said, “I just got tired of being pushed around. I have something inside of me that’s stronger than what’s out there.”
She then noted, “So when you’ve had enough, you realize, wait a minute, why do I even care about these people and what they think? Who are they? They don’t even know who they are. So I’m not going to back down anymore. I’m not going to back down ever again.”
Minaj also slammed California Governor Gavin Newsom, who has continuously criticized President Trump since her started his second term, by re-reading some of the comments she’s made about him.
“It only gets worse from here for you, buddy,” she said about Newsom. “It’s the end of the road for you, my love. Get on the nearest jet ski and let that beautiful hair blow in the wind. It will make you happier than this race that you will not win. Enjoy life. Peace.”
